Some thoughts about Plagiarism...

Plagiarism is copying another's work and turning it in as your own. It is unethical.

Plagiarism is tempting in this day and age of cut and paste resources, but it is unwise.

  • Plagiarism is easy to detect. A teacher can type a suspicious phrase from a student's paper into Google, and the original source will usually come up.
  • Plagiarism cheats yourself. You don't get the opportunity to develop your own writing style and to make you own voice heard.

Teachers are much more interested in what YOU have to say!
